[Arkanna]

A new expansion would actually bring me back to the game. I wonder how many more people there are, just like me?

Be careful what you wish for else you'll be back in Wings of the Goddess before you know it.

I would /
Honestly anything refreshing would excite me tho.
I have my hopes up because it's the 10th anniversary this year, and next month marks the end of the road map, which means they'll likely show us the next roadmap soon. 2011-12 is soon over and so the year dedicated to improving the core game is almost done.

The uncertainty and anticipation excites me. Provided they've figured out how to work around the zone listing limit, the addition of new zones for a new expansion is something I'd gladly pay for

Its SE, I wouldnt get your hopes up on anything all that great. Hell, they will prog figure out a way to take away an expansion rather than add one.

Also, they are behind their roadmap so a new one prob wont be out till around April/May.

[Spira]

I've pinned my hopes on May 16 being the latest we'll know anything, but I'm sure there'll be something of note to be announced this year.

Anyway they're only off the roadmap by 1 month-ish. And being that I like FFXI this much even table scraps would excite me lol

[Apelila]

Has anyone actually gotten a choco-subligar? Cuz if they're the reward for the new Valentines day event, then fuck I might be doing that tomorrow morning.

I'm willing to bet a lot, I know personally of 10 people+ that would come back lol.

I so hope its worth it, but keep in mind that SE are exceptional providing disappointment. A lot of stuff that gets hyped turns out to be completely different than anticipated.

This could be very interesting. SMNs could use a BP, dismiss, call a spirit, have them use a tier v, dismiss, rinse and repeat. The MP drain may not be a major hindrance now. However, the key factor is how quickly are the spirits going to cast their spell.

Hmm no. You still have to wait for spell recast and hope your Fire Spirit doesn't cast Burn or Flare. Either way their accuracy sucks so this won't happen on anything that isn't EM or lower.
And I thought they were removing spirit perp merits to replace with spirit recast/casting time but they're just switching it with another useless merit. Oh well.
